Support meets operations

Answering customers and keeping things running, finally on one desk.

Most teams run one tool for customer questions and another for keeping things online, then copy and paste between them. Put them together and the people answering the objective are the people who catch the problem, with your AI agent helping across both.

Support

Every request, one place

  • Email, phone, and a portal your customers will use
  • One thread per conversation, full history kept
  • Service levels and time tracking built in
  • A knowledge base that answers the repeats for you
Operations

And the systems behind it

  • Know the moment something breaks
  • The right person paged, automatically
  • On-call schedules your team will stick to
  • Every customer's kit and sites mapped
The Support by Metaphor assistant docked in the operator app, ready to act on objectives, contacts, customers, and the knowledge base
AI agent

An agent that works like a member of the team.

Not a chat widget bolted on the side. The agent has a real account, takes calls and messages on every channel, and is routed through the same queues as everyone else.

  • Answers the phone, email, and portal, and creates or updates objectives as it goes
  • Routed in ring groups and auto-assignment, just like a human technician
  • Scoped to the least-privileged person on the conversation
  • Proposes changes for a person to confirm, with every action in the audit log
  • Hands off to a human, and leaves the full transcript on the objective

What you get

Everything the desk needs.

A desk that works on day one, not a kit you have to assemble. See it all on the product tour.

Objectives

Nothing slips through

Every request lands, gets prioritised, and stays on the radar until it's done. The whole story travels with it, so handoffs are effortless.

Channels

Email that just works

Customers email you like they always have. It becomes a tracked conversation, replies come from your own address, and the noise is filtered out for you.

Channels

The phone, handled

Take and make calls right from the objective. Set up your phone menu and after-hours cover once, and let the desk route every caller for you.

Operations

Someone's always on

The right person gets the alert the moment it matters, with nights, weekends, and holidays covered in advance. No more 'who's on call?'

Operations

Catch problems first

Know the second a job or service stops checking in, so you're fixing it before your customers are the ones telling you.

AI

Find anything, fast

Ask in plain words and the right objective, customer, or answer is there in seconds. It learns what your team reaches for most.

Teamwork

Work in the same room

See who's on an objective and what they're doing, live. No stepping on each other, no two people replying to the same customer.

Multi-tenant

Every customer, kept apart

Run all your customers from one place with their data cleanly separated, and model even the messiest holding-company org charts.

Open platform

Fits your stack

Anything you can do in the app, you can do from your own tools. Connect the desk to whatever you already run.

Getting started

Running in three steps.

  1. 1

    Sign in

    Use the Google or Microsoft account you already have. No new passwords, and your team joins the same way.

  2. 2

    Connect your channels

    Point your support inbox at the desk and bring your own phone number. Replies go out from your own domain.

  3. 3

    Take the first call

    Your AI agent is ready from day one. It answers, raises the objective, and hands over when a person should take it.

Who it is for

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does the AI agent actually do?

It answers calls, emails, and messages like one of your team. It looks things up, raises and updates objectives, answers from your knowledge base, and hands over to a person whenever it should.

Can the AI change things on its own?

Only if you let it. By default it suggests, and a person approves. It can only ever do what the customer it's helping is allowed to do, and everything it does is recorded. You stay in control.

How is this different from a help desk with a monitoring add-on?

On-call, monitoring, and alerts aren't bolted on here. They live on the same desk as your objectives, so the team that answers customers is the team that catches problems, with one shared history.

Does my team need new accounts?

No. Everyone signs in with the accounts they already have, like Google or Microsoft. You can be up and running in minutes.

Can we bring our existing objectives across?

Yes. We move your objectives, history, and people over, and keep email threads intact, so nothing breaks mid-conversation when you switch.

How long is the trial?

Fourteen days, no card, nothing held back. Need longer to try it against a real queue? Just ask.
